Park Meadows KinderCare

We enrolled our son when he was 7 months old and will be 3 this summer. We are very pleased with this KinderCare location. The teachers are very engaging and we could t be happier with the growth my son is getting from going to school here. They were very helpful during potty training and we all worked together in what works best for my son. The fact that he can count to 15, sing his ABC's and is potty trained by 2 1/2 is amazing and I owe a lot of support from all of the staff members. Each and every From the classroom teacher is fully invested in all of the children. All of the teachers have been truly wonderful. I love to hear my son teach us the songs he has learned and talk about what they are learning each mod. It makes us feel like we made a great decision on this school. We love having the app available to us so we can see him being engaged during class and how he plays with others. This school does a great job with extra activities and involvement the school provides to parents inside and outside of school.

I would not recommend this facility to anyone. I started taking me baby there when he was 7 months old. The assistant director seemed to have a genuine care and compassion for children. I will say that most of the regular teachers in the infant room were kind and caring; however, as time passed, I started to notice many things that did not sit well with me. The first thing that became evident was the lack of cleanliness in the facility. I watched several people entering the infant room without shoe covers or removing shoes, which is a problem since the infants crawl, scoot, and play on the floors. My baby contracted several illnesses while attending this daycare. He was also sent home with a diaper on that was not his even though he had plenty of his own in center and 3 sizes too small. He had red marks on his legs and waist from the small size. The common areas, doors, floors, and walls were visible soiled. Another thing I observed which was infuriating, was several of the teachers in charge of the pre K children were consistently yelling at the children both during my drop off time and pick up time. This was done so in front of the director on more than one occasion. During one particular incident, it must have been apparent by the facial expression I was making that I did not agree with how I was observing the children being treated, the director took note of my expression and shouted, " have a great day!" to me over the classroom half wall. I overheard not only the teachers but the director, gossiping about some of the other parents of the children attending. I witnessed several teachers more interested in their phones than the children in their charge, all in sight of the director. Additionally, I was asked to pay an annual registration fee only a few months after paying this fee at enrollment. When I questioned the fee, which by definition is an annual fee, the director could not provide me with the enrollment agreement. Furthermore, she blamed the fee on the corporation stating that usually the fee is charged later in the year but this year they decided to charge it early. The last straw come when I picked my child up early one day. As I arrived to the classroom, I observed several adults in the infant room which I did not know and had not seen there before. I found my child asleep in a ball pit. He was in a position which looked like he was sitting with his legs extended in front of him and the upper half of his body laying over his legs. Essentially, folded in half. His face was visibly red. I imagine he was having some respiratory distress. This kind of sleeping is extremely dangerous and could have potentially resulted in serious harm and even death....Who knows if these kinds of unsafe sleeping practices had occurred prior to my finding him this way. I took him out and never brought him back after that day. When I reached out to the director, she admitted to all the items outlined in my complaint, but also tried to place blame on me for not bringing these things to her attention before. I spent several thousand dollars for care at this facility but the care received was not comparable to the cost. There are several much better options in the area for child care. Please do your research and stay clear of this facility and this director.

Love this location!! They are amazing especially Christina and Tammy (the teachers I have worked with are great as well) my kids have gone here for over a year they have learned a lot and grown so much since starting daycare! They enjoy all the activities and the way they teach new stuff! The new app is amazing as well you get to see pictures of your kids during the day and see what they are doing as well as the food they are eating! Definitely consider this location for your childcare needs!

My son was enrolled in KinderCare for about 4 months. The Director just suddenly decided they couldn't take my son back. They didn't want to deal with my son's tantrum so they kept calling us and had us picked him up. We paid them full but we got half the service... Definitely our worst experience when it comes to child care..

My son goes to Park Meadows KinderCare part-time and we've had a great experience here. The director Karena is very nice, as is the rest of the staff. They are all so friendly every time I drop off or pick up. Also, they have been very flexible with us/not at all hesitant to answer any questions, so I appreciate the great customer service. As far as the curriculum is concerned, my son's preschool class is actively learning and practicing counting and colors, and his teacher is really interactive with the class. He comes home from the center saying he had fun every time. I would definitely recommend this center if you are looking for a daycare.

We had a tour scheduled, and got in without a code or being buzzed in (not secure). The facility is pretty rundown, but the outdoor area looked nice. We did notice right away that the toddlers were outside playing without any supervision by adults. We stood in the entryway without the teachers or administrator noticing or acknowledging us for 5-10 minutes. When Christina (sp?) did notice us, she showed us around the facility (she wore sunglasses the entire time), which had the overwhelming smell of bleach indoors (burned eyes and throat). The toddler room, however, reeked of dirty diapers. As children often are, they were all dirty but also seemed bored to tears. Overall, there was only one "teacher" in the toddler room paying attention to what the children were doing or needed (Nancy?). I asked about food, and Christina indicated that they were fed... I asked what types of meals/snacks are provided, but didn't get much more information ("fruit, veggie, protein, dairy"). Overall, it was rundown, dirty, poorly planned (no activities or curriculum), and poorly staffed (lazy, not engaged). For the exact same or very similar price-point there are MUCH better child care options. They are clearly cutting costs at the childrens' expense to maximize profits. I rarely leave negative reviews, but feel other parents should be warned.

Finding quality care and a trustworthy place is nerve wracking as a parent- but this place is above and beyond. My two children have been going there for almost 2 years now- almost 3yr old and 4 yr old, they both became potty trained here and have developed tremendously. They continue to learn so much everyday and the curriculum makes me brag as a parent & the manners and rules my kids learn are thoughtful. The teachers are a breath of fresh air- some are younger, which you can see their joy in working with children, some are mothers with their own little ones in the classes (they show as much love and care to my children as they do their own). During the 2 years I have never had anything negative to say about the facility or teachers. I love that the group of teachers are also diverse along with the children that learn there. The smiles on the teachers faces in the morning and afternoons are always reassuring- along with the conversations we have- discussing my children, their growth and day or just about being a mom or person. Dont forget about the amazing kinder care app- pictures and updates of my babies day this only makes you feel more reassured of the place you chose. I owe more than just the monthly tuition here- because they make me feel comfortable and safe leaving my most precious jewels with them while I work. They have a hard job but do it with love and care. Im forever thankful for the previous director- Christina & our new director Teresa. & of course my first and favorite teachers- Ms. Regina & Ms. Tammy. And all of the other amazing women there (Shayla, Dani, Monica, Shanika, Ms Joe, Koraya, Ashley, Toni, & Taylor) You are all truly a blessing to me and my family. This place is your trusted daycare and school for your babies!!

Park Meadows KinderCare is a wonderful place for my children to learn and grow. My daughter started when she was 6 months old and now is in the 2 year old room. She is cared for and loved by all the teachers. We walk in the mornings and are greeted by the Center Director Theresa and usually a couple teachers in the pre K rooms. When we get to my daughters classroom, she starts her day with nutrition breakfast. Her days are filled with laugher, music, games, and learning. KinderCare provides an app where I am notified of her activities, naps, food, and changings throughout the day. Pictures and videos are also sent. Three times a week, my daughter learns Phonics and its really helping her develop her language skills. Park Meadows KinderCare treats all their kids like family.

I must start off by saying the staff are all amazing and very dedicated to their work. My daughter absolutely loves all the teachers at the facility and they're all great with her! I would highly recommend this child care facility if you're looking for child care.

In April when I enrolled my oldest in Kindergarten I asked if they would be able to bus her and was told after the director verified, that yes, they would. In October, that center director left the center and a few days later the new center director informed me that in two weeks they would no longer be able to bus her to school because the district director wanted to sell the bus (yay profit margin!!!)I told her that the school had already committed to busing for the year and it sounded like they needed to follow through on the agreement reached in April. I then left several messages for the disctrict director, ALL of which went unreturned. Nonetheless, the new center director (Christina) informed me that they would continue busing until the new year and that they would try to arrange a "waiter" to wait with my daughter until the bus could arrive and if they weren't able to do that, that she would let me know "sooner than later" since part of the issue was that they thought two weeks notice is a reasonable amount of time to work out child care change.Today, school started again and I receive a text from their mom stating that they won't be picking her up. Call the center, speak to Christina who informs me that they "mentioned it to their mom last week". According to their mom they said they would stop busing on the 11th, but either way, the commitment was made IN APRIL BY KINDERCARE. I spoke to Christina who informed me that they informed my kid's mom last week (Christina, and all of corporate were on vacation so perfect passive aggressive time frame right?). I asked how many schools were no longer being bused to and was told it was just ours and that the one a quarter mile from the school with the most students (Acres Green) will be waiting with her for 15-30 minutes outside daily for the bus to pick them up... This is Colorado and it's 16° outside and it's not uncommon in winter to have single digit temps and below zero temps so I'm not sure if this falls under negligence or abuse or stupidity, but it's one of the aforementioned, if not all three in my opinion.If things don't get squared away in the next week or so, I'd imagine there will be a mass exodus from this center and I'm presently looking at alternatives in the area. The current state of this daycare is an absolute joke.
